EVGA you made a really bad decision to not include 5.25" drive bays.
This will be a show stopper for a lot for a lot of builders.  

ya the retro/casual builders who have to have their media or backup discs. not the target audience. i bought this case and do not use any 5.25 bay anything, havent in nearly 5 years if you do not account for windows installs.

It was a turn off for me at first, but then I realized I could just put the Blu-ray drive in my wife's computer and buy a $20 external drive for installing windows. 
 

I am working on a fix for this, but the C clips for a reservoir we thought came with the case.. do not, they were essential to my mod to bringing a CD/DVD/Blu Ray drive bay to the case.
So rethinking the plan for it.
Going to just mill me the parts i need.
It may not be the best way to add a 5.25" drive bay, but overall will be aesthetically pleasing, if just a little out of place.
It will, however, throw off the reservoir mounting options.
 
Will be working on a shortened version of it too, for those who like to have an aftermarket fan controller.

download Microsoft media creation tool and you can make a bootable windows 10 usb install drive. once on install window say you do not have a key and tell it you want to install pro. then after installed you go and grab the $29 copy of pro from Kinguin and register your windows, this is how i did it for this build.

I build mini itx rigs for sometime (5+ years), but even when I get a mid tower to build I run away from 5.25" bays like hell... But anyway they still usefull for fan control pannel, more yet for the dual bay ones with led screens...But in the end, even those tend to fade out, as digital fan controllers gain traction, and we could opt for a "external" touchscreen unit thru usb.
5.25" bay becoming a legacy niche for case builders.

at this point in time i see the 5.25" bay as the old floppy bay back when XP was a few years old. only useful when one had to install windows and floppy was the only way to give it raid drivers... sigh, soo glad USB drive support has become so ubiquitous, it makes life simple.

Best solution to not having a 5.25 bay ^^^^^^^^
Having a external doesn't hurt either
a 32gig flash drive are cheap enough to say why not

More than one use for 5.25 bay.
Bluray drive (why spend more money on external one)
Card reader + fast charging USB port  (easier than having to plug in usb card reader all the time)
Fan controller  (lots of people don't trust mobo to control all the case fans)
mount a reservoir for liquid cooled system
 
I see no point buying a boat anchor for a case. Nvidia only supports 2way SLi now, whats the point of a huge case the weights over 40lbs. What's next, are people going to buy wooden cabinet to display TV. 
 

 
Lets buy this cabinet to display our radio + turn table.

every one of those excuses to have a 5.25 bay are simply put, outdated. the only reason 5.25 bay reservoirs exist is because people have useless 5.25 bays eating up their case space such that a proper res will not fit. this case has its own fan controler, moot point. card readers are cheaper and easier to use eternally, i plug mine into my keyboard's extra usb extension very handy. and for the last one, Blu-Ray drive, this isn't required unless you copy your own media. if you use it to watch movies with than it'll be better served in a HTPC, which this case is not.
